Caractéristiques générales de la synthèse de documents La synthèse est un exercice assez simple, car très technique. Pour réussir, il faut néanmoins faire preuve de rigueur car elle est très codifiée. Les pièges de la synthèse La plupart des étudiants ignorent la technique de synthèse telle qu’elle est attendue en BTS. Aussi plusieurs pièges sont à éviter. La synthèse n’est pas une dissertation personnelle Premier écueil : si l’on se souvint de la consigne vue plus avant, le travail demandé doit être objectif. Aucun point de vue personnel ou même appréciation subjectif sur les documents ne doit apparaître dans la rédaction. On recommande d’ailleurs aux étudiants de ne pas utiliser le pronom « je » dans leur travail de façon à éviter tout malentendu. Le candidat doit donc rapporter les idées des auteurs de façon neutre, sans jugement de valeur. La synthèse n’est pas un résumé des documents La plus grande erreur commise en première année de BTS consiste à résumer les documents, les uns après les autres. Un petit détour par l’étymologie nous permettra de mieux comprendre le travail attendu. Le terme « synthèse » vient du grec sunthesis qui signifie « mise en commun ». Il s’agit donc de rassembler les informations collectées dans les différents documents en un ensemble organisé, donc cohérent. Les idées doivent être confrontées en établissant des liens entre les documents. La synthèse n’est pas un montage de citations Le Bac de français est derrière vous. Oubliez (en partie) cette épreuve. Ici, pas de citations, de numéros de lignes pour appuyer votre rédaction. Votre travail consiste à reformuler de façon synthétique le contenu et les enjeux des documents. La nature du travail demandé Une consigne codifiée pour rédiger votre synthèse Trois adjectifs dans cette consigne. Tout d’abord, la synthèse doit être concise, c’est-à-dire courte et dense. Quatre pages maximum sont généralement attendues à l’épreuve. Nous l’avons déjà évoqué plus haut, la synthèse est un exercice absolument objectif. Aucune idée extérieure aux documents ni commentaire personnel ne doivent figurer dans la rédaction. Enfin, la synthèse est un travail ordonné. Un plan soutient donc la rédaction, on attend ainsi : • une introduction; • un développement; • une conclusion. La démarche à adopter pour votre synthèse La préparation de la synthèse se décompose en deux temps : • Un premier temps consacré à la lecture active de chaque document. Les idées importantes sont relevées, les arguments sont listés, le raisonnement de l’auteur est analysé. • Un second temps consacré à la mise en relation des différents documents de façon à établir des liens entre eux : il s’agit en fait de recomposer un débat entre les auteurs. Sont-ils d’accord ? S’opposent-ils ? Si oui sur quels point ? … La synthèse : un acte de communication On veut donc vérifier que vous savez « lire » : c’est-à-dire que vous êtes capable de comprendre ce qui est écrit dans les documents et de reformuler selon des contraintes de longueur de texte. L’étymologie du verbe « lire » nous le confirme : legere, en latin, signifique « choisir » La méthodologie de synthèse en 10 points Voici un récapitulatif des 10 maladresses principales à éviter et des 10 règles à adopter Les interdits de la synthèse 1. Faire des citations des auteurs des documents pour soutenir les idées avancées. 2. Donner son avis, émettre des remarques subjectives : ex : l’auteur oublie malheureusement que… 3. Faire des références à des documents hors corpus, faire allusion à une autre œuvre de l’auteur. 4. Rédiger un « catalogue » des idées sans lien logique entre elles. Rédiger au fil de son inspiration. 5. Rédiger une synthèse longue et détaillée. 6. Laisser de côté un document, parce que l’on ne l’a pas compris ou qu’il nous semble inintéressant… 7. Utiliser le pronom « je ». 8. Faire un plan apparent (A, B…) avec des titres. 9. Juxtaposer des résumés des documents. 10. Faire référence aux documents par le numéro attribué dans le dossier. Ce qu’il faut faire 1. Reformuler les idées. 2. Rester neutre, objectif. 3. Ne traiter que les documents proposés. 4. Traiter les idées selon un plan précis. 5. Quatre pages maximum 6. Traiter tous les documents, même de façon inégale, certains documents sont plus « riches » en idées que d’autres. 7. Préférer le « on » ou le « nous ». 8. Rédiger sans titres avec des phrases de transition. 9. Confronter les idées communes aux documents. 10. Faire référence aux documents par le nom de l’auteur et l’initiale du prénom. Si ces 10 règles sont respectées, une importante partie de la méthode est acquise ! L'évaluation du travail de synthèse On se rappelle que cette épreuve est notée sur 40 points. En règle générale, les correcteurs adoptent le barème suivant qui vise à valider 4 grandes compétences, chacune notée sur 40 points. Comprendre les documents Ces 10 premiers points valident vos compétences de lecture : Les idées essentielles ont-elles été bien relevées ? Tous les documents ont-ils été bien compris ? L’unité thématique des documents doit apparaître ans le traitement des informations collectées. Confronter Le correcteur vérifiera notamment que tous les documents ont bien été exploités, qu’aucune « impasse » n’a été faite. Il sanctionnera, le cas échéant, l’ajout d’idées extérieures. Certains étudiants pensent que l’introduction d’idées extérieures vient enrichir leur travail et montre leur connaissance du sujet. Il faudra attendre l’épreuve d’écriture personnelle pour le faire. Ici, rappelons-le, seuls les documents proposés à l’étude figurent dans la synthèse. La confrontation des idées sera également évaluée : Le candidat a-t-il établi des liens entre les idées des auteurs ? Chaque partie de la rédaction repose-t-elle sur plusieurs documents ? Structurer Quelle que soit la logique suivie, la synthèse suit un plan. Introduction et conclusion doivent apparaître clairement. La rédaction suit une ligne directrice et un parcours. Les documents sont référencés, l’ensemble est organisé. Utilisez des connecteurs logiques pour lier les parties entre elles. Ils faciliteront grandement la lecture et la progression de vos idées sera plus claire. Rédiger & reformuler Une expression écrire claire est attendue. Elle respecte les normes et usages de la langue écrite courante. La richesse du vocabulaire sera valorisée. Le tout est rédigé : pas de tirets, de titres ou de tissage de citations. Les propos des auteurs sont reformulés, on sanctionnera ici toute formulation d’appréciations personnelles.

1.Linguistics is the science that studies language. 2.Linguist:Someone who studies linguistics. 3.The Subfields of Linguistics Phonetics deals with the sounds of language. Phonology deals with how the sounds are organized. Morphology deals with how sounds are put together to form words. Syntax deals with how sentences are formed. Semantics deals with the meaning of words, sentences, and texts. Pragmatics deals with how sentences and texts are used in the world (i.e., in context) Text Linguistics deals with units larger than sentences, such as paragraphs and texts. 4.Prescriptive: This approach consists basically of stating what is considered right and wrong in language. 5.Descriptive: This approach, on the other hand, consists of describing the facts. Descriptive linguistics is dedicated to describing the rules of the language, and the language is seen as essentially rule governed. 6.Language is rule-governed, creative, universal, innate, and learned, all at the same time. 7.Linguists understand language as a system of arbitrary vocal signs. 8.Linguistic signs: involve sequences of sounds which represent concrete objects and events as well as abstractions.Signs may be related to the things they represent in a number of ways. 9.Iconic: which resemble the things they represent (as do, for example, photographs, diagrams, star charts, or chemical models). 10.Indexical: which point to or have a necessary connection with the things they represent (as do, for example, smoke to fire, a weathercock to the direction of the wind, a symptom to an illness, a smile to happiness, or a frown to anger). 11.Describe the characteristics of human language: Creative: (The structural elements of human language can be combined to produce new utterances, which neither the speaker nor his hearers may ever have made or heard before.) Rule-governed: (Language is made of rules.) Universal: (There are some aspects that are present in all languages of the world.) Innate:(all humans possess an innate capacity for language, activated in infancy by minimal environmental stimuli. Chomsky) Uniquely human: (Language is what sets us apart from other species. It is what makes us human.) Learned:(Children acquire language from their natural setting.) 12.Differentiate between iconic, indexical and symbolic signs. A. iconic, which resemble the things they represent (as do, for example, photographs, diagrams, star charts, or chemical models) B. indexical, which point to or have a necessary connection with the things they represent (as do, for example, smoke to fire, a weathercock to the direction of the wind, a symptom to an illness, a smile to happiness, or a frown to anger). c. symbolic, which are only conventionally related to the thing they represent (as do, for example, a flag to a nation, a rose to love, a wedding ring to marriage). 12. Distinguish between different senses of the grammar word. The prescriptivist´s grammar (Grammar is a set of rules that label the different utterances as either right or wrong.) The descriptivist´s grammar (Grammar is a set of rules that govern the langauge spoken by people. ) The linguist´s grammar (Grammar is the subconscious knowledge of the set of rules that enables speakers to use the language) The speaker´s grammar (Grammar is the intrinsic linguistic knowledge within a native speaker) 13.Describe common fallacies about language and grammar: ►One type of grammar is simpler than another. ►Changes in grammar involve deterioration in a language ►Grammars should be logical and analogical (that is, regular) ►People must be taught the grammatical rules of their language. ►Only some languages have grammar. ►Grammars differ from each other in unpredictable ways. 14.Generality: All Languages Have a Grammar 15. Equality: All Grammars Are Equal 16.Changeability: Grammars Change Over Time 17. Universality: Grammars Are Alike in Basic Ways 18.Tacitness: Grammatical Knowledge Is Subconscious 19.Linguistics is defined as the study of language systems. It is the scientific study of language. 20.Historical approach:It is the study of language change. 21.Linguistic Competence: is the unconscious knowledge speakers of a language have about the system that enables them to create and understand novel utterances. 22.Performance: is the use of it. Performance is “the actual use of language in concrete situations.” 23.I-Language (internal language): which is the intrinsic linguistic knowledge within a native speaker. 24.E-Language (external language): which is the observable language—the output from a speaker. 25.Parole ('speech') refers to the concrete instances of the use of langue, including texts which provide the ordinary research material for linguistics. 26.Langue: 27.Language: is a system of communication that is non-stereotyped and non-finite; it is unlimited in its scope. 28.Grammar: to refer to a subconscious linguistic system of a particular type. Grammar makes possible the production and comprehension of a potentially unlimited number of utterances. 29.Communication and animals: Selecting a mode of communication (speech,writing, gesture). Delivering the symbols through a medium, a physical basis for communication, light, air, or ink. Decoding of the symbols to obtain the information. 30.SIGNS: Communication relies on using something to stand for something else. Words are an obvious example of this: You do not have to have a car, a sandwich, or your cousin present in order to talk about them—the words car, sandwich, and cousin stand for them instead. This same phenomenon is found in animal communication as well. 31.The signifier: A signifier is that part of a sign that stimulates at least one sense organ of the receiver of a message.A signifier can also be a picture, a photograph, a sign language gesture, or one of the many other words for tree in different languages. 32.The signified: The signified component of the sign refers to both the real world object it represents and its conceptual content. The first of these is the real world content of the sign, its extension or referent within a system of signs such as English, avian communication, or sign language. 33.Iconic signs or icons: always bear some resemblance to their referent. A photograph is an iconic sign; so too is a stylized silhouette of a female or a male on a restroom door. 34.Some iconic tokens: a. open-mouth threat by a Japanese macaque; b. park recreation signs; c. onomatopoeic words in English. 35.An indexical sign, or index, fulfils its function by pointing out its referent, typically by being a partial or representative sample of it. Indexes are not arbitrary, since their presence has in some sense been caused by their referent. For this reason it is sometimes said that there is a causal link between an indexical sign and its referent.The track of an animal, for example, points to the existence of the animal by representing a part of it. The presence of smoke is an index of fire. 36.Symbolic signs: bear an arbitrary relationship to their referents and in this way are distinct from both icons and indexes. Human language is highly symbolic in that the vast majority of its signs bear no inherent resemblance or causal connection to their referents, as the following words show. 37.Mixed signs Signs: are not always exclusively of one type or another. Symptomatic signs, for example, may have iconic properties, as when a dog opens its mouth in a threat to bite. Symbolic signs such as traffic lights are symptomatic in that they reflect the internal state of the mechanism that causes them to change color. 38.Signals: All signs can act as signals when they trigger a specific action on the part of the receiver, as do traffic lights, words in human language such as the race starter's "Go!", or the warning calls of birds. 39.SIGN STRUCTURE: No matter what their type, signs show different kinds of structure. A basic distinction is made between graded and discrete sign structure. 40.Graded signs convey their meaning by changes in degree. A good example of a gradation in communication is voice volume. The more you want to be heard, the louder you speak along an increasing scale of loudness. There are no steps or jumps from one level to the next that can be associated with a specific change in meaning. 41.Discrete signs are distinguished from each other by categorical (stepwise) differences. There is no gradual transition from one sign to the next. The words of human language are good examples of discrete signs. 42.A VIEW OF ANIMAL COMMUNICATION ►Largely iconic ►Largely symptomatic ►Little arbitrary ►Not deliberate ►Not conscious ►Not symbolic ►Stimulus bound
